TERRITORIAL BADGES.--"The Paschal Lamb" (the crest of the house of Braganza) with the mottoes, "_Pristinæ virtutis memor_" and "_Vel exuviæ triumphant_." Also "The Royal Cypher within the Garter." Also "The Sphinx," for Egypt (1801). NICKNAMES.--"Kirke's Lambs" (during the Monmouth Rebellion, 1683, under the Colonelcy of Piercy Kirke the reputation of the regiment was none of the best). "The Sleepy Queen's" (at Almeida, 1810, they carelessly allowed General Brennier to escape). "The Governor's Regiment" (on its formation for service in Tangier). NOTES.--Tangier was part of the dowry of Catherine of Braganza, the Queen of Charles II. "The Paschal Lamb" is the crest of the royal house of Braganza, and the facings (sea-green) on formation were also in honour of the Queen. For gallantry at Tongres it received its title in 1703; also possibly its _second_ motto ("Even the Remnant Triumph"), a most desperate resistance of twenty-eight hours' duration having there been offered to the French attack. The other motto ("Mindful of Ancient Valour") is thought to refer to Marlborough's Spanish campaigns, in which it saw much service, besides having been specially selected for reinforcements.
